Maths test on monday. Argh..! I hate math. Simply hate it. To hell with those differentiation, integration, mathematical induction, summation symbols, apgp (erm, no pun intended), and yes - TRIGO. Why are we learning all these crap, which doesn't even give a tiny hint that they will be useful in the future? Let's compare E math and Maths C.
In E math, we learnt percentages, statistics, cost price, etc. I dare say it will be of use in our daily life. Here's an analogy: One fine day, you walk up to an auntie, wanting to sell a second-hand handphone to her. You wanted to sell it for let's say, 200 bucks. She understood and wanted a discount of 20%. You refused, as your profits would be too little. In the end, you agreed with a 10% discount, and the auntie understood you, taking nice crisp notes, adding up to $180, and handed it to you. Do you see it? It goes both ways.
Math C, we learnt trigo, mathematical induction, apgp and whatever rubbish. Let's use the same analogy. One fine day, you walk to the same auntie, and started to chat with her because you were bored and she happened to be your mother's friend. "How's your studies arh, girl?" she will asked with a heavy singlish accent. You started talking about horrible math... "trigo was difficult as usual.. you have to start memorising the compound angle formula, double n triple angle formula, factor formula, and start proving things...." I bet you, a bacon and a bag of mr potato crisps, that the auntie will NOT understand what you are talking about. Thus this brought about communication breakdown between the two of you. So, is this the real purpose of Math C? To aid communication breakdown? *wonders*
I think I gonna do badly for math. I'm never good in math, unless it involve simple daily life examples. Grr. All the best to me. Bet the rest of the class are mugging now.. Wah, stressed seh. What if 99% of the class pass, and the only one who didn't is me?? Wah, terrible imagery. Sometimes, I would really give up my over active imagination for anything. Argh.
On a happier note, tml im gonna meet Ann up! Long time never see her liao, really MISS her LOADS. will she be still like happy and laughing, or will she hv dark rings under her eyes and a strained look on her face becos of tests?? Hmm.. the suspense.
Friend A ask me what I want for birthday. Lol. And I told him jie3 lian2 huan2.. It will be a miracle if he finds it. Lol. I have been wanting for years and years now. Ever since it was aired when I was a kid.
Hope the chalet is approved. Keep fingers crossed.
I'm getting increasingly nerdy! So if you are a fellow nerd and have a love for textbooks and shopping, do add me on msn: terrorist_gurl88@hotmail.com. :D
